TSARINAS SONG (GB)
Andrew Balding
Kingsclere
Andrew Balding is such as good trainer that there is an Amazon Prime documentary featuring him and his Kingsclere-based operation.
Balding’s iconic Park House Stables is where legendary horses such as Derby winner Mill Reef, one of the greatest horses to have graced the turf since the Second World War, was trained and has been located in the rolling greenery of Hampshire since 1865.
There is no better place as a Kingsmoor member to experience the true beauty of owning a race horse than this verdant corner of the world, where Queen Elizabeth II herself used to visit.

Balding is one of the UK’s leading trainers, having collected over £5 million in prize-money during the 2024 UK season, resulting in a second-placed finish in the UK Trainers’ Championship.
His team generated over 167 winners in total, with a further £1.5 million in prize money generated on the world stage at the top races around the world.
This success has not come overnight, however, and his operation is deeply embedded in the fabric of racing, having succeed his father Ian to be the licensed trainer in 2003.
His training career got off to a perfect start when he saddled Casual Look to win the 2003 Epsom Oaks and since then the yard has gone from strength to strength, increasing in both size and quality.
Many more domestic Group winners have followed from star performers such as Passing Glance, Tullius, Blond Me, Horseplay and Beat The Bank, whilst Group 1 wins have come courtesy of Elm Park in the Racing Post Trophy and Here Comes When in the Sussex Stakes, Donjuan Triumphant in the British Champions Sprint and Kameko in the Futurity Trophy.
In 2020 Andrew achieved his second Classic success when Kameko won the Qipco 2,000 Guineas in record time, while Alcohol Free capped off an excellent season with victory in the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes. Alcohol Free added two further Group 1 wins in 2021, taking the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot and the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood.
Andrew was leading trainer at the Qatar Goodwood Festival and runner-up trainer at Royal Ascot.
Andrew finished second in the British Trainer’s Championship for 2021, his horses having amassed over £4.4m in UK prize money with a further £1.1m earned abroad.
He followed this up with another strong season in 2022, finishing fourth in the Championship with a personal best of nearly £4.6m
prize money won domestically, and highlights including Alcohol Free’s Group 1 July Cup success and Chaldean winning the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes.
